Hey, i’m considering going to Humboldt University, and I was wondering what the weather is like? I’m used to weather in Washington (cold, grey, rainy), but I love the sun. Is it usually sunny there?

thanks 🙂

My X-Box had the three red rings and so I sent a repair request to Microsoft on Dec. 14th . The repair check status on my X-Box says that the repair is currently in repair . It has said that for the last three to four days . I live in Northern California and I was wondering how long it would be before my X-Box got sent back . I heard that Microsoft takes a vacation around this year because of Christmas and New Years so with all that in mind I would like to know approximately how long it would take until it gets sent back . Any help would be great , thankyou 😉

I would like to put a redwood arbor over my patio .

If i’m arriving at LGA and staying at Holiday Inn Express near Madison Square Garden, what would be the best way?
I understand that I can take taxi, limo…etc but I was thinking taking public route like bus or the subway.
So if i take the bus, if someone can give me the exact route and what to take to get to the hotel. And also, i will be arriving on noon Friday and wondering how long it will take.
However, i will be carrying one luggage. so i’m not sure if the bus may be inconveninet as well.
this will be my first time in NY and i’m trying to save money and willing to sacrifice to certain degree but wish to enjoy the visit.
All your feedbacks would greatly be appreciated!
thank you!

I’ve been working here for two years and haven’t taken a vacation yet (I have been to a couple of work related conferences though, but that is not a vacation). At the most, I’d be willing to spend 00-2000. However, I think I could have fun for as little as 0. I’m considering Reno, Las Vegas, the Monterrey Peninsula, or somewhere in Mexico that’s beautiful and by the beach, but I’m open to all suggestions. Help me plan my trip!

I am pretty dang sure I’ll get into Davis, and like 100% I will to Humboldt. But can you justify why you would make that decision?
I know it’s early, but if I had those as my only two choices, which one should I go to?

I’m majoring in life science stuff (ecology and evolution, zoology)
what the hell? Why did my additional comments and original info get switched? That’s never happened to me before!

I know that I can use oak or cedar, so I wonder if redwood will give off any taste or smell. I am of course planning to season the plank before using it. I am mostly concerned so it does not effect the edibility of the food.
Thanks.

I want to have a wedding, both the ceremony and reception, at a bed and breakfast/small inn with gardens and a gazebo in VT or western NY. With 50 or so people, how much can I expect to pay altogether? My guy and I have different views on what is reasonable/doable. Thanks!

Okay, I am a native born Californian who has lived here over 50 years, but, I realize there are probably little "California’s Gold" places I have missed. So, where would you go with a husband and 2 kids, ages 11 and 16. I’m also trying to stay within a budget of about 00.
Venkat: Do you have any idea what the price of gas is in California? Taking that type of a trip would cost a fortune, just in gas.
